Dominion of God and Jesus
The dominion of God and Jesus is a theme that transcends cultures and traditions. It is not limited to one world or one people but stretches across all realms—seen and unseen, real and imagined, dimensional and transcendent. Let’s expand your vision into a structured article that draws from the Bible, the Vedas, the Qur’an, and other spiritual traditions.
🌌 God’s Glory Across All Universes
Biblical Foundation
- “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” (Psalm 24:1)
- “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible… all things have been created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:16)
These verses affirm that God’s dominion encompasses every dimension—real, imaginary, higher, and lower.
Vedic Tradition
- The Rig Veda declares: “The truth is one; the wise call it by many names.” This reflects the idea that all universes, whether dreamlike or tangible (real), are manifestations of divine glory.
- Hindu cosmology speaks of countless lokas (worlds), each sustained by the divine.
Islamic Tradition
- The Qur’an states: “To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.” (Qur’an 2:284)
- This reinforces the universality of God’s dominion, extending beyond human comprehension.
Other Traditions
- In Buddhism, infinite Buddha-fields exist, each radiating enlightened presence.
- Indigenous traditions often describe multiple spirit realms, all under the Creator’s glory.
👥 Humanity in God’s Dominion
Men as Hand of God's Instruments of Work
- Genesis 2:15: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”
- In Islam, humans are khalifah (stewards), entrusted with divine responsibility.
Women as Dream and Wish
- Genesis 2:18: “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
- In mystical traditions, feminine energy symbolizes divine creativity—Shakti in Hinduism, Sophia in Christian mysticism.
👼 Angels and Spirit Beings
Angels as Extensions of Will
- Hebrews 1:14: “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”
- In Zoroastrianism, angelic beings (yazatas) embody aspects of divine order.
Spirit Beings as Divine Desire
- Spirit beings represent God’s “want”—the yearning for communion and harmony.
- Native American traditions describe spirit guides as manifestations of the Creator’s desire to lead humanity toward balance.
🌍 Nations as the Work of His Hands
- Psalm 22:28: “For dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.”
- Nations, cultures, and civilizations are not accidents of history but divine craftsmanship.
- In Islamic eschatology, nations are judged collectively, affirming God’s sovereignty over societies.
